Glyphs not rendering #38

Description

@samwdp

I have changes the tags to rune glyphs.

The fonts I use in Emacs and for intsantwm is Noto Mono Nerd Font
I can verify this still happens when the font is default Fira Code Nerd Font.

Is this something that I have misconfigured or is this a problem with the window manager itself?

    Did you try setting the font in your xresources file? The terminal font is an independent thing, afaik.

    Example ~/.XResources:

    instantwm.font: FiraCode:size=11
    
    instantwm.bgcolor: #212337
    instantwm.hovershadowcolor: #5c669b
    instantwm.hoverbgcolor: #7a88cf
    
    instantwm.minimize: #7a88cf
    instantwm.darkminimize: #5c669b
    
    instantwm.darkactivetag: #FF79Ce
    instantwm.activetag: #FF92Da
    
    instantwm.hoverfocus: #7a64a0
    instantwm.darkhoverfocus: #6e5991
    
    instantwm.darkfocus: #5c669b
    instantwm.focus: #7a88cf

    It might be hardcoded, though. See:

    static const char *fonts[] = {"Cantarell-Regular:size=12", "Fira Code Nerd Font:size=12"};

    static char xresourcesfont[30];

    { "font", STRING, &xresourcesfont },

    How did you configure the WM? Using Xresources or the source code?

    @con-f-use i have a font.config in .config/fontconfig set to use the various Noto Nerd Fonts then I am referencing the monospace:size=10 in the config.h file which the window manager picks up. I can try the XResources file through

    @paperbenni I installed instantos yesterday, downloaded the src for instantwm and changed the tags to these and restarted the window manager

    You might have to change the font to something that contains your needed symbols

    according to fc-match the fonts I have used contains the unicode characters for these glyphs. I tried forcing Noto Serif Runic and still they are not rendered
